No injuries were reported, either to humans or animals, after a chicken coop apparently caught fire in Hartford on Sunday.
Several Lyon County fire departments — Hartford-Neosho Rapids, Olpe and Emporia — were dispatched to the 200 block of Main around 5 pm. It took roughly 30 minutes to get the put out once firefighters arrived. At this time, it’s unclear if any chickens were in the coop when the fire started.
Firefighters say there may have been an electrical issue that started the fire, but the cause is under investigation. More details are currently pending.
